On January 22, 2023, the Asian community will celebrate the Lunar New Year, 4721 on Chinese calendars, which is Year of the Rabbit.
The rabbit is the fourth animal of the Chinese Zodiac. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are gentle and approachable. They have a modest attitude and maintain a pleasant relationship with others. They do not irritate easily, and they also avoid quarrels as much as possible. They have a decent, noble, and elegant manner.
Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally run from Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the last month of the Chinese calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, while some may celebrate up to a month.
